I don't remember seeing a single luftwaffe plane over Normandy on D-Day.

Which was the experience of most of the allied airmen on that day. The
allied air forces flew something like 14,000 sorties, losing 127 aircraft.

I have RAF fighter loss and USAAF fighter kill claims for 6 June.

The RAF fighter units report losing 5 aircraft to enemy fighters and
1 to an enemy bomber. No idea of kill claims

The USAAF fighter pilots were awarded 27.5 kills.

The 9th Air Force had 22 aircraft MIA, from 3,342 sorties despatched.
